Meta Tier List

Hello, and welcome to the new and improved Meta Tier List.

This list focuses on giving an overall vision of the current balance between mechs in the game. I do this by looking at the strongest build(s) for each mech, and judging them against one another, ignoring things like weight class and range.

Due to the number of mechs in the game and how close the balance is, there is little differentiation in the power levels of mechs within each sub-tier. I’ve done some ranking within sub-tiers, but most of it isn’t terribly strict.

The old focus on including every variant proved unsustainable, but I like the new format much better.

Every chassis will have at least one build ranked on this list.

In order to have multiple builds listed here, the builds must be different enough, notable enough, and good enough for me to consider it worthwhile.

This cuts down on the wall of text, makes it easier to update, and I feel it helps clarity by removing clutter. If you liked the old way better, sorry, but the Clan and IS variant tier lists will still include all unique variants.

Change Notes

Some of these updates were targeted at polish and should have been included in the last update, but I’ve also added the Supernova. Most of the variants probably fall in Tier 3, but the Hero is actually pretty good (wasn’t sure about placing it at top of Tier 2 or bottom of Tier 1, but it is where it is).
